Just landed
Hi all,
just to say we have landed on a WP, just over 3 weeks ago.
Kids have settled in school and me and Tracey have nearly completed our first week at work.
Had some crap news just before we came out, our buyers of the house split up and pulled out, the day before completion, bummer!
But we had two jobs to come to and the kids had a better school and we have somewhere to stay, so here we are and loving it. Don't get me wrong, it's not easy, but so far, so good.
Just to say a big thank you to all of you that have helped and advised and hope to meet up with some of them.
Our flight was delayed for 6 hours, so we landed late, so by the time we got to where we were staying and having a chat, we hit the hay around 3 in the morning. No real problems going through immigration. Left getting our SIN and health cards for Friday morning, bit of a headache getting health card, but no problems.
Bought two cars, got kids in school and started work. All well so far, we are really enjoying it.
So once again, many thanks, bril site glad we found it.
regards,
Carl Tracey Emily and James

Hi Carl, Tracey, Emily and James
Glad you all arrived safely, not many of New Forest meet up people left in the UK.
Bummer about the house, what will you do leave it on the market?
